Today, I want to announce the AUGUST Kindle Book Writing Challenge open to all retirees. It's taking place in the Retirement Community, so you must be a member (but you can easily join for only $1/month... so it costs you $2 for this challenge... July and August membership).

Earlier this year, I wrote and published my first Kindle book in 30 days via the NAMS challenge. I've recently added a Home Business group to the Community and I will focus on WRITING as a home business first.

This challenge will be relatively simple... a little research, lots of writing, quick edits, and your first book is done. Then you will upload to Amazon, and consider marketing options. Sounds like a lot, it is, but it is also totally doable. Really.

If you are already a member of the community, I have sent a separate email about the Challenge. If you are not, consider trying this challenge both to motivate and inspire you into writing Kindle books. It's fun!

Here is my Amazon Author page.
